Friends of Helmdon School
Newsletter January 2006
Welcome back everyone! We hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas and a very
Happy New Year to you all.
Firstly, a very big thank you to everyone for their support last term. We had a very busy and successful term culminating with the children’s Christmas party and Christmas Raffle. The party was thoroughly enjoyed by the children, thanks to the help received from both parents and staff; we couldn’t have done it without you! We were thrilled with the donations given for the raffle which raised a fantastic £604! This has been very generously matched by Barclays
Bank, to give us a grand total of £1,208!! Particular thanks must go to
Macintyers Estate Agents who donated the £100 first prize as well as sponsoring the event.
Forthcoming Events
Quiz Night – Friday 27 January
A great night’s entertainment for a fiver…………….come and join in the fun and test your knowledge of music, sport, films, geography etc. etc.! Teams of up to
8 people are welcome but if you don’t have a full team, don’t worry, your team can be any number up to 8. Alternatively, we will be matching up teams of smaller numbers on the night if required.
A chilli supper will be provided in the ticket price and a bottle bar will be open.
As you are aware, the school hall has a maximum capacity, so numbers are limited. Please apply for your tickets quickly on the attached form.
